The New Canoe

If you've had the pleasure of dining at Canoe on top of the TD Building, you know that people don't go there for the decor and you've probably also known that it closed its doors for a brief moment to go under the knife and get a face lift last month. A million dollars and a mere 31 days later, Canoe is reopened with Toronto Life exposing first photos of the nip and tucked space.

It's pretty, but not anything to really swoon over. Given that the O&B franchise has done a heck of a job with their rapidly expanding empire, I expected a tad more from the space. Perhaps they left the space comfortable and chic cottage feeling to allow for the food to shine. That said, Canoe never needed to make any exceptions for their food to shine. Dark wood accents and concrete floors modernizes the space and takes it from the pale drabness to a contemporary and generic chic.

Experimental Foodies will definitely be perching high atop the 54th floor soon. If you are interesting in joining us, drop a comment or email us with your contact info for more details.
